Both articles are based on social inequality in America. In my town we do not have much of an inequality problem due to most of the town being white, but I know this is a problem through out America. Not just with black people though, in this time I believe it tends to be the Mexicans and
Asians that may feel unequal to everyone else also. The main idea of both articles express concern over the construction of “racism”. The tone of the text is rational but it changes to emotional as you read on because this is a very touchy subject to talk about. Both of the writers purposes were to explain and inform about social inequality in America. As I read the articles I did not see them shift purposes throughout the text. In the article written by Jennifer L. Eichstedt she uses cause and effect method to develop her ideas and she also uses examples. The reason she uses these methods is because they reflect the purpose of what shes writing very well. In the article written by Mr. Allen and Mrs. Chung they use chronological patterns to reflect there ideas which makes this article easy to read and follow. In the same article they use many transitional sentences because they are use chronological patterns and they work very well together and they make the article flow with ease. The writers were also smart about the choice of words they used throughout the article. They were very appropriate for the topic they were writing about. In both articles they communicate effectively on social inequality. They had different purposes and different strategies to communicate with the audience. Yes, they are on the same topic but there is many differences on how they were written.

    They also share how symptoms can evolve over time. In article one it asses how each symptom progresses over a period and in the second it span 's over a five year period. However there are differences among who is conducting the survey, in one article it was a primary care physician and the other a group of researchers. The articles are different in the way the survey was conducted, one by a doctor and the other by mail. Even though they were conducted in different ways the outcome of both can not change just because of this fact. In article one it focuses on just random people, but in article two it focuses on a main group of employed or unemployed participants. These two articles may be different when it comes to whom, how, and why but they both have a main focus on depression and how it can affect one 's life in many different ways under different types of…

    Don Anselmo and Mrs.Higgins are similar because they both stand up for what they want. They have in common that they are both being strong in the beginning. Don Anselmo and Mrs. Higgins are different because Don Anselmo stays strong throughout the entire story but at the end Mrs.Higgins does not. I would not say they are more different than similar because they both want something better for the kids in their life.…

    In the articles by Tannen, Kingston, and Ehrlich, they all have something in common which is about the surrounding community that they grew up in. The community that Tannen describes is that how they exclude women from being able to do a man's job. In Kingston's article he describes how a Chinese girl, which is her, is being treated and at least trying to fit in with the other kids when she was growing up. Ehrlich's article basically ties in on how an outsider tries to fit in but can't even though he "looks" like the rest. All three of these writers describe how hard it is to at least be treated equally by trying to fit in. They all intend to give the readers a more in depth knowledge of sexist, discrimination, equality. But throughout these three articles, the one that stood out the most was "About Men" by Gretel Ehrlich.…

    The most interesting short stories that caught my undivided attention were: “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and “Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot” by Robert Olen Butler. These stories were both fascinating and intriguing in the sense that they made me feel like if I was the actual character. You could feel the pain and anguish the characters felt, even the desperation. It got to a point that I felt pity for the protagonist whom in both stories where narrating. Here we can see how someone can feel so desperate that they think the only way out is by taking their lives. Both Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Robert Olen Butler created an incredible form of fiction that makes you question if the scenes in the stories can truly happen in reality.…

    Everyday, stereotype is used in the society. Sometimes, when people use stereotype on other people, they don’t even recognize it because it’s so common and is ignored by the society. It’s a way to judge people through their common believes based on ethnicity, gender, skin color, appearance and language of the people who are being judged. For example, when people see a Vietnamese woman in her 20’s, 30’s and 40’s just migrated to America, they would assume that she will be working in a nail salon and flirt with some rich guys to get married with. Being stereotype is difficult deal with, and it’s really offended and hurtful. “The Myth of the Latin woman: I Just Met a Girl Named Maria” by Judith Ortiz Cofer and “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan share some common and different stereotypes that they had to go through. In the story “The Myth of the Latin Woman: I just met a Girl Named Maria”, Judith Cofer wrote about her experiences being stereotyped as a Latin woman. In “Mother Tongue,” Amy shared her personal experiences being stereotyped with her language’s barrier. Even though the two female authors shared the similarity for being stereotyped by the society, they faced different situations on the way they were stereotyped.…

    Ben Franklin and Frederick Douglass are the most prominent figures in American history that fought for freedom and equal rights, democracy and racial equality. Frederick Douglass was one of the most important figures in anti-slavery and civil rights movement which took place in the 19th century. Ben Franklin was a scientist, politician, diplomat and author. His social and political activity coincided with consolidation and creation of the nation. For both Franklin and Douglass, escape from oppressive circumstances became a turning point in their careers giving rise to political and social activity. The themes of survival and escape are closely connected with family background and early life of both men. Benjamin Franklin was of a family that for generations had lived by the sweat of its brow. Like his ancestors for generations back , he was bred to a trade through a long apprenticeship . That he became a journalist was not altogether accident His Uncle Benjamin and his maternal grandfather had been versifiers, and his elder brother had become printer of the fourth news set up in New England.…

    The first article reinforced my opinion the most. Fitz and Wolgin address all the right ways this reform will help America rather than hurt it. The second article’s author has its own idea on reform that might work but I believe is too harsh. It punishes illegal immigrants for cheating their way into America. Illegal immigrants come here illegally because it’s very hard to come to America. They’re only looking for hope and a new life. Punishing them by making them wait fifteen years for any compensation is mean. It also doesn’t make sense to make legal immigrants wait five years to receive benefits. They didn’t come here illegally so why make them wait? The second article criticizes the senate and decides to make a new reform that is unfair. The first article sticks up for the senate and their passing of the bill. Fitz and Wolgin even prove all the fallacies created by their opponents wrong. They do effectively with facts. I also agree personally with the reform bill. The first article favors the bill while the second article calls the senate insufficient and makes a new bill that is cruel to immigrants.…

Each college student has their own opinions on which type of style they prefer. Both types of college experiences compare and differ in multiple ways. Commuting, and living on campus can be similar yet so different at the same time, and truly depends on what type of person you are and what fits your life.…
